#2Wow, I'll have to try that out.
For reference, I really like how shortcuts work in MacOS. This won't solve the lack of a standard that developers try to adhere to on other platforms.
But it's immensely annoying to have to shift between ctrl+c and ctrl+shift+c depending on whether or not you're on a terminal versus another application. As a bonus, I press command with my thumb which is both stronger than my pinkie and has very little to do other than press space normally.

I don’t get the fascination with macOS keyboard shortcuts, people always mention the copy thing that you did and it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.

#4Who puts the table of contents in the middle of the content? Below that is where you'll find the "What does this do exactly?" section, which really should be the first thing on the page. Why does the opening section say "Seamless copy and paste with all apps and terminals"? Seems to have nothing to do with the project.

It feels a lot more ergonomic, especially if you switch between cli and gui applications a lot. It's one thing I really miss when going from my work Mac to my home Linux machine.

There's two parts to it. One, that macOS has a proscribed way for apps to compose command, ctrl, and option for shortcuts, whereas it's basically the Wild West on the other platforms. So it's just generally nice on macOS.
The terminal thing is, in the grand scheme of things, minor, but a very nice QoL. It's annoying to mode shift from ctrl as a desktop environment modifier to ctrl as a unix modifier. Especially when ctrl+c can be quite a bit more destructive than "copy".
It's not like it's impossible to adjust, but it's very nice to have command+c do the same thing, everywhere.

Take your pinky and touch it to the tip of every other finger on the same hand, now take your thumb and do the same. Which is easier?
This is the difference between a command based shortcuts and ctrl based shortcuts (unless you are using a non-standard ctrl key).
There is a reason why people get "emacs pinky" but no-one gets "mac thumb".

With Karabiner Elements, AutoHotkey, and AutoKey you can get your favorite shortcuts on all three

#10i've always lamented the incompleteness of mac keyboard shortcuts compared to windows, but it's been a long time since i've used windows, so it's hard for me to remember specifics. but i do remember that multi-key shortcuts generally made more sense in windows. and you could alt-tab easily between windows of different applications, not just applications or just tabs/windows of the same application.
